Don't worry, we're still giving away a seat to our upcoming Foundation class on Monday, June 3 at 9 AM PDT But it'll got to @CiprianTurcu, who is second place this week.

Design Responsively

Foundation is our tool of choice when it comes to designing responsively. We firmly believe that responsive design will be the web of tomorrow (and that's just around the corner). Next week, we're giving away a seat to our Introduction to Responsive Web Design online class on Tuesday, June 11 at 9 AM PDT. In this course, you'll learn:

• Why content needs to come first
• Responsive grids and how they work in creating flexible layouts
• The difference between progressive enhancement and graceful degradation
• And why code is important to being a better designer

The class covers everything you need to know to get started with responsive design. We'll announce the winners next Thursday, May 30. So everyone get out there and leave some good feedback!

All of them have won a seat in our upcoming online course, Mastering Design Feedback to Influence Others and Win Meetings on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 — a $149 prize value! The class is taught by Forrster and Ranger @ryantriddle, who will share techniques on the best ways to go about giving and asking for feedback. They'll learn how to:

• Soliciting meaningful feedback to crush projects
• Prioritizing feedback and iterating to wow your boss
• Giving good feedback to win everyone's praise

Congrats to all the winners! And we look forward to seeing you in class on May 28th!

Another Chance to Win Head of the Class

Next week, we'll be giving away seats to our online training for Foundation, our Mobile First responsive framework, on Monday, June 3. It'll be taught by the designers and engineers who built the framework and use it daily. You'll learn everything from the grid to prototyping to using its JavaScript plugins.

We'll announce the winners next Thursday, May 23, 2013!

How Would You Post From a Mobile Device?

We highlighted our thoughts on how posting from a smaller device would work. We wanted to know whether you would create full-on posts with screenshots from your phone. We got some great feedback from @anevins2, @cgoodwyn, @rowanu, @JGallardo and a few others. Seems most of you would prefer leaving comments or use your mobile device to browse other posts.

To Collapse or Not to Collapse

We've gone completely Mobile First with the redesign. One of the things we've considered is whether the Post Stream should be a list view or an expanded view. We even ran a Verify preference test to see which one everyone preferred. 64% of those who took the test preferred the expanded view.

Bringing Back Post Types

One of the things we've considered was brining back post types. We want to make it easier for everyone to frame their posts — asking for feedback, sharing insight or asking a question. We got some valuable feedback from @jakiestfu about the developers in the community, sharing some insightful ideas.

We've got a few more sneak peeks in the works in the coming weeks and we want to get your feedback on what we're working on!

Mystery Revealed!

But he's not the only one to win today! We said last week we had something up our sleeves. One random Forrster has won a seat in our upcoming Responsive Design Class on Monday, May 13, 2013 — a $299 prize value. So without further ado, the winner is …

@ormanclark! He's left 62 helpful comments and takes the prize. He'll learn both the design patterns and code bits that go into making a site responsive from those of us that build responsive sites every day.

Be the Master of Feedback

Next week, we're giving away a seat to our class on Mastering Design Feedback on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 — a $149 prize value! Forrst is a great place for designers and developers to share their work and get the feedback they need. But giving feedback can be challenging, we all know we need it but sometimes we don't know the best ways to go about giving or soliciting it. This class will give you the techniques to do just that, taught by those of us who give feedback on a daily basis, even an hourly one.

We'll announce our winners next Thursday, May 16, 2013, at noon!

What's Behind Door Number 2?

Next week, we'll be giving away a three-month subscription — a $147 prize! — to our prototype tool, Solidify. But you have something else up our sleeves. Like Keller and his perplexing cabinet in the picture above, we're cooking up a special prize! But we're not spilling the beans just yet. It's like on a game show. You get a showcase prize then you have to figure out what's behind door number 2.

But you'll have to wait until next Thursday, May 9, to find out what it is!

She's won a free three-month subscription to Notable, our app that helps folks give and receive contextual feedback on screenshots or uploads — a $299 prize package in all. We're also giving a three-month subscription to @thecodezombie, who's left 50 helpful comments, this past week!

Next week, we're giving away a three-month subscription to Verify, our tool that lets you collect and analyze user feedback on screen or mockups — a $297 prize value!

Our online classes for Foundation, the most advanced front-end framework in the world, are a comprehensive overview, from grid to prototyping to its JavaScript plugins. He'll get taught by the very folks who built and use Foundation daily. Here's a course breakdown:

• Using Foundation: lessons on the fundamentals and getting started with the custom downloader
• Prototyping with Foundation 1: covers the basic prototyping elements, such as navigation and typography
• Prototyping with Foundation 2: dive deep into the forms, such as buttons and visibility classes
• JavaScript: learn how to install and use the JavaScript plug-ins

He's Not the Only One

Our random winner for the week is @jakiestfu. He'll get to sit in on our two-part Using Sass on Foundation next Wednesday, April 24 from 9:00 AM PDT to 10:45 PDT!

Next week, we're giving away a three-month subscription to Notable, our app that helps folks give and receive contextual feedback on screenshots or uploads — a $299 value! We'll announce the winner next Thursday, April 25.

He's won a t-shirt from our friends over at Moovweb, a software platform that transforms desktop sites for mobile devices. They're hosting a mobile remix hackathon and we're awesome enough to send over three t-shirts!

And coming in second, getting a t-shirt as well, is erraziB! She tailed Kenil closely with 290 comments. Given a few seconds more in the race and she might've overtaken him. Zooming in at third is renwalker, who gets our third t-shirt.

Our Next Derby Prize Is …

We're giving away a seat to our online classes for Foundation, the most advance Mobile First responsive framework in the world, on Monday, April 22, 2013 — a $299 prize value! In four consecutive classes, you'll get a change to be taught by the designers and engineers who built and use it daily. You'll get a comprehensive overview, from the grid to prototyping to its JavaScript plugins. You don't need any previous knowledge (although you might want to brush up on your HTML and CSS).

We'll announce our winners next Thursday, April 18, 2013, at noon. So Forrsters, start your engines!

• Improving the navigation to make it easier for you to get around
• Ranger Picks that highlight the best work from the community
• Made promoted posts more impactful
• Brought back the leaderboard
• And made it possible to save drafts of your post

That was just the beginning. We were gearing up for the herculean task of making the Post page better.

Headed Toward a Responsive Site

At first, we were going to stick with working on the post page. However, we saw an opportunity to go full steam ahead on a responsive redo. And we'd like to give you a little spoiler:

We're really thinking about how you'll use Forrst on a mobile device. From the sketch above, we were working out the best way for you to leave comments on a mobile device. We've been figuring out how you can create posts on a mobile device. You'll have to forgive us for being a bit coy for now. We're going to start sharing a lot of this work with y'all real soon to hear your thoughts. Of course, we don't want to give away too many spoilers. At least, not yet.

And the Winners Are …

While we have your attention, we want to announce the winner of the monthly contest. Forrster sarah_edwards has topped the list with 512 helpful comments in March! She's won a three-month subscription to all three of our apps:

• Notable, our tool that lets you give contextual feedback through annotations of screenshots or wireframes.
• Verify, our tool that lets you collect and analyze user feedback on screens or mockups
• Solidify, which allows you to upload wireframes or mockups and create clickable prototypes, which you can test on any device

All in all, a $741 prize package! But she's not the only winner. LauraMoraiti came in second and gets three-month subscription to Notable while Kenil gets a subscription to Verify and ZeziCat gets one to Solidify.

Back to the Weekly Contest

We'll be doing weekly contests again this month, starting with some swag from our friends at Moovweb, a software platform that transforms desktop sites for mobile devices. They're currently doing an online mobile remix hackathon this month to let folks show off how they'd redesign Github. And they were awesome enough to send along t-shirts in small, medium and large for us to give away to Forrsters! Check it out:

The top three on the Leaderboard next week will get the prize! We'll announce the winner of the Moovweb tee next Thursday, April 11, 2013 at noon PST!

For the past year-and-a-half, we've been in private release learning how to help companies, such as Starbucks and Foursquare, better tailor job listings to meet the needs of designers and engineers. We really delved deep into what those folks really wanted out of a job, even conducting a survey to figure out what you guys were looking for in a job.

Here's the top three:

• Passionate co-workers
• The types of projects you work on
• A strong company culture

Those findings help us shape the job listings so companies highlight what's important to you. We ensure they also outline how you'll be working together and why you'd want to work at their awesome company.

On the sidebar, you'll find a listing of some of the jobs on the board. You can get the full list of jobs at the Job Board.

9 Days and Counting for Our Monthly Contest

While we have your attention, we want to remind you that you have 9 days until the end of our monthly contest. We'll be picking the person who's made it to the top of the Leaderboard by the end of the month. We're offering a three-month subscription to all three of our apps:

• Notable, our tool that lets you provide contextual feedback by annotating screenshots or wireframes.
• Verify, our tool that lets you collect and analyze user feedback on screens or mockups.
• Solidify, allows you to upload wireframes or mockups and create a clickable prototype, which you can test on any device.

All in all, a $741 prize package! So far, sarah_edwards is topping the list. Are you going to topple her?

But just to keep thing interesting, this week, we're giving marmaladebleu a Foundation T-Shirt for being number one on the Leaderboard last week with 102 helpful comments!

Remember you have nine days left and we'll announce the winner of our month-long contest on Thursday, April 4, 2013.

She's won a three-month subscription (a $147 prize package) to Solidify, our prototype tool. You can upload wireframes or mockups and create a clickable prototype, which you can test on any device. Not to mention, you can also conduct unmoderated user testing.

The Seventh-inning Stretch

But like any good sport, there's got to be the occasional game changer. And this time around, we're going for a seventh-inning stretch. Now that doesn't mean we're getting up and stretching out our legs. But it does mean we're going for the long play — a month-long contest.

So instead of a weekly winner during March, we'll have one big winner, who has the chance to knock it out of the park with some solid feedback. To make it even sweeter, we'll be offering a three-month subscription to all three of our apps:

• Notable, our tool that lets you provide contextual feedback by annotating screenshots or wireframes.
• Verify, our tool that lets you collect and analyze user feedback on screens or mockups.
• Solidify, which like we said, allows you to create clickable prototypes.

It's a prize package worth $741!

Keep Your Eyes Peeled

Now having a month-long contest doesn't mean that we won't be giving out other prizes to those who top the leaderboard throughout the month. But it'll happen when you least expect it, like a pop fly.

We'll announce the winner of the month-long contest on Thursday, April 4, 2013 … exactly 30 days from now.

What She's Won

LauraMoariti has won a three-month subscription (a $297 prize package!) to Verify, our tool that allows you to collect and analyze user feedback on screens or mockups.

Verify allows you to:

• Gather user feedback
• See what people remember about your designs
• Collect data in real-time from anywhere, then view the results by demographics
• Get an actionable report that you can download

Not the Only One

We're also giving a Foundation T-shirt to sarah_edwards. She's giving dozens of helpful comments and we're glad to be giving her a t-shirt!

Win a 3-Month Subscription to Solidify

We'll be giving away a three-month subscription — a $147 prize! — to our prototype tool, Solidify. You can upload wireframes or mockups and create a clickable prototype. You can even conduct unmoderated user testing. We'll announce the winner next Tuesday, February 26, at 12:00 PM!

You Can Now Save Drafts

We know how frustrating it is to write an entire post only to lose it. It's happened to a few of us from time to time. Whelp, you may have noticed this week that we've made it possible to save drafts before you publish. Just hit the "Save Draft" button and you won't lose your work anymore!

Another Pass at the Scorecard

We also took another pass at the scorecard on the Leaderboard that highlights the winners. We've added a picture to make it clearer what prize you'll win this week. We've even "crowned" the past week's winner.

Presenting Your Work

We've added another section to our Park Guide, Presenting Work, that'll help guide you on how to present work to others. After all, it can be daunting to present work for the first or third time. We want to guide you through the process.

Putting Our Logs in Row

The logs we're gathering are all part of our herculean effort of making the Post pages better. We need to axe down trees in order to build something that won't be filled with wood rot or frustrate you.
